Architecting LLM-Driven Agent Pipelines with Claude (Paperback)

Paperback. This reference provides experienced software architects and developers with a focused examination of designing and implementing agent pipelines and application frameworks powered by Claude from Anthropic. Drawing on established patterns in agentic systems, the book addresses core architectural decisions, including tool orchestration, context management, workflow composition, multi-agent coordination, and production deployment considerations specific to Claude's capabilities such as tool use, MCP integration, and reasoning transparency. Chapters explore modular designs for single-agent and multi-agent configurations, effective prompt and context engineering for sustained performance, error handling in long-running tasks, evaluation strategies, and optimization techniques that align with Anthropic's recommendations for simplicity, transparency, and reliable agent-computer interfaces. The content assumes familiarity with LLM APIs, Python-based development, and system design principles. It emphasizes practical, conservative approaches suitable for enterprise and production environments rather than experimental prototypes. Professionals seeking to construct robust, maintainable Claude-powered agent systems will find detailed references and implementation considerations to inform their architecture choices. Add this professional reference to your library today to strengthen your approach to LLM-driven agent development. This item is printed on demand.
